The Supreme Court is taking up an e-cigarette case. The high court agreed Tuesday to weigh Food and Drug Administration decisions blocking the marketing of sweet flavored products amid a surge in vaping by young people.
I actually used vapes (the “real” ones) to stop smoking. It took years, but having the capability of controlling how much nicotine I had in my vape liquid was key. Eventually I brought it down to zero, and was able to stop.
This said, in europe the market is being flooded with disposable, colourful vapes - and those are an abomination. Just thinking of trashing all those lithium batteries makes me angry.
Here in Canada they are replacing refillable vapes with those trash filling disposable and the only nicotine level available are 20 or 0.
No more 12, 6, 3mg, noooooo that would actually help reducing nicotine intake.
The 20mg ones are nic salts which work a bit differently which is why they’re stronger. The refillable “freebase juice” is what came in 3, 6, 12mg and it sounds like it’s getting banned. Nic salt is supposed to be used at much lower wattage so that you get less with each puff but it works faster (similar to a cigarette). Pretty much all the disposables use nic salts.

I get it but it still would be great to have stepping down levels of nicotine. Why 20 only. I want to quit not replace.
